I’m a journalist — and sometimes a musician — in Austin, Texas. Since 2014, I’ve been a staff writer at The Marshall Project, where I write about the death penalty, prisons, courts, and art and music made in American prisons. I’ve worked on a team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, hosted podcasts, and was a fellow with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University.
My first book, “Let the Lord Sort Them: The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty,” was published in 2021 by Crown. I’m current working on a book about my family history called Arab/Jew, forthcoming from Schocken in 2027.
